While my experiences are upstream strategy development, innovation, my approach to client is facilitative and collaborative. Trusting in the capability of client and its organizational capability, I have supported client, very hands-on, to involve key people from different layers of organization.
Change and results, not only financial but sustainable capabilities are what I have pursued for in my career.
